SNAP

Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program

It is important that all community members have access to fresh local foods that are affordable. By accepting SNAP benefits along with Senior Farmers Market Coupons and Double Up Food Bucks, OCRFM is increasing the accessibility to local fresh foods. Customers wishing to shop with their SNAP benefits can simply stop by the information booth and request the amount they'd like to spend and receive tokens as a market currency to spend with vendors.
